History

Lebanon was originally named Emerson, but the U.S. Postal Service rejected the name as too similar to another community, Emberson, in Lamar County. In 1904, the town's residents chose "Frisco City" in honor of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway. This name was later shortened to Frisco. The current settlement of Lebanon was on the Preston Ridge, and was too high in elevation, so the watering stop was placed about 4 miles (6 km) to the west on lower ground. Some Lebanon residents moved their houses to the new community on logs. The town was originally called Emerson, before being renamed Frisco in 1904. It is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. It was once part of the state of Texas, but is now part of Texas Instruments' Dallas/Fort Worth Division. It has a population of about 2,000, and is home to the Dallas Cowboys football team. The city was founded in 1860 by pioneers who traveled by wagon trains along the Shawnee Trail, which later became the Preston Trail, and later Preston Road. The community was granted a post office in 1860, and its name was changed to Lebanon in 1864. It became known as Lebanon in the early 1900s, when the town was founded by settlers who traveled along the Preston Road, which was later renamed Preston Ridge. The name Lebanon is still used by the city's post office today, but it is no longer known as the name of the town.
